Abominable and sad

Words fail to express the outrage. Why do things like that happen? Who in their sick minds is even able to do something like that?

From http://www.al.com/newsflash/regional/ind...ist=alabamanews:

A Bibb County grand jury indicted two men Friday on charges that they killed 36-year-old Steven Carlyle Spears of Maplesville in a drive-by shooting and beat his wife with a chain. Monica Spears survived the attack.
The grand jury indicted Troy Edward Connell, 16, of Chilton County, and Jimmy Lamar Killingsworth, 28, of Shelby County. (...) The victims were driving home from a family gathering when assailants in a red SUV passed the Spears' car and killed Spears in a drive-by shooting. Monica Spears was able to steer the car to the side of the road and get out.
The assailants beat her with a chain and stole her husband's wallet, police said. - The highway where the attack occurred runs between Selma and Montevallo. A wooden roadside cross now marks the spot where the attack occurred.

Were these two monsters (Jimmy Killingsworth and Troy Connell) found guilty? If so, I hope they are to be executed. I know that they were indicted. What happened to the third monster? Let go free? His name never appeared in the newspapers. I assume he must have turned states evidence on the other two monsters.

Today, December 10th, 2005, is the one year anniversary of the Spears family's tremendous loss. I hope that everyone who knows of this tragey thinks of Steven and his family today...and what a senseless act was committed against them.

God Bless this family in their loss.

Rest in Peace, Steven. *bows head in silent prayer*
